For all technical support issues please email info@mermaidseries.com. Please do not post a comment or message us on Facebook asking for technical support. It is likely we might miss the comment or message.
I created and verified my Sodisp profile using my email address. Can I still sync my Sodisp profile to my Strava or Garmin Account?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do both the 200 mile Walk/Run AND the 600 mile Bike?
Yes! When you register for the event you will have access to both leaderboards and can join in both categories. You only need to register for the event one time. Walk/Run/Hiking miles will count towards your 200 Mile challenge and any Biking miles will count towards the 600 mile bike. Please note these results will be on separate leaderboards and the walk/run and bike miles cannot all be combined together.
I already signed up as an INDIVIDUAL, can I still JOIN A GROUP/TEAM affiliation that my friend created?
